Golden Bears On Track Saturday

No. 69
DEAN CROMWELL IS not very optimistic over the track meet with the Bears Saturday afternoon. He has several of his stars out on account of scholastic requirements, and looks forward now to the number of first places which the Trojans can get to offset the total points of seconds and thirds, combined with the first in all the dis tance events, the pole vauit and the javalin throw, which California is almost certain to win.
believes th* Trojans will do well io bold the Bears to a 21-point lead, ln order to do this the student will have to support the track men to the limit. A me*t with California is always full of thrills, aed this one is not eypoctej to b^ an exception.

WAMPUS IS COMING out next week with an issue devoted almost entirely to the purification of student journalistic efforts.
With the El Rodeo. Alumnae Magazine, Personalist, Sociology Maga-2lne, and the “Trojan,” the Wampus has quite an assortment to apply the recent razzomania epidemic that seems to have attacked the campus. Added fuei is found in the Wooden Horse, which it deems slower than Barney Google's Spark Plug.
EL RODEO MANAGERS and editors are worikng day and night to get out all the material so that the annual will appear on the campus by the middle of May. Those in charge are to be congratulated for having their work so well under way this early in the season, and will probably accomplish the almost impossible task of distributing the El Rodeos before the university year ends.

Hot dog ma. I is a real smart guy. Ever time I writes it seems that I j;ets .>martem smarter. I bas found a way to get something for nothing. The other day, me and Mike Holler goe*s into a drug store and gets a mailed milk one per each and we driaks it and after we gets through 1 finds a animal by the name of a cockroach in the bottom of the glass. Bdfrig used to eating at the Ippv Kak house, this don’t phase me.
But I shows the bug to the sody jerk and says. “Here's something I ain't paid for. 1 guess I got my money's worth." So the jerdy soke charges us for just one of the M. M.’s and now Mike and me carry some dead flutterbies around with us and after we drinks our milks we puts a hug in one and then we gets one for nothing. The other day we didn't had no fly and the sody jerk caught me trying to subdue a fly for use in the drink and he kicks me outa the shop If was worth it no how.
MIKE IN BAD
I also has me a nother idea about text books. I is gonna advokate that text books be loose leaved. Just think. A guy would only have to car ry to school just those pages which they had the lesson over. And then a guy could go into the library and swipe the pages out of a book that he wanted and carry it home a piece at a time in his pocket-My friend Mike Harr what married that girl's sister of mine of once upon a time.

TECH MEN GOOD
.Joseph Walker and Harold Beck of CalTech are two of the strongest orators in the Southern Division. Both come to T’. S. C. with good recommendations as forensic artists. In the past debates they have displayed tln-ir ability in talking their opponents to sleep. In :i forceful and pleasing m a n n e r this combination ■ Ir ivi s home I he merirs of the case and the demerit s of the opponents’ side. As this is the last de-Kate of the season.

"Bill” Barber is the mainstay of the Trojan team in the debate tonight. His recoid of the past is sufficient to prove his rare ability. "Bill'' has met and defeated the best debaters in the Southwest and is all primed for the final verbal encounter.
A. W. Griewe is to team with Barber tonight. .Griewe is to fill the shoes left vacant by Ned Lewis, who debated last night.. Coach Nichols states that Griewe is a coming speaker and ihat much can be expected of him in the future. Debating is Griewe’s hobby, and his naturalness combined with his thorough knowledge of the subject to be debated makes him a person who can ably team with Barber. These two men should put up a great fight against the strong team front CalTech.

DR. J. TODD FAVORS RETAINING D’ GRADE
Unfavorable comment on the proposal made through the Trojan that t’. S. C. should adopt a system of grading, eliminating all “D’s” from final semester grades, was made by Dr. J. ■«V. Todd, head of the Psychological Department of the University of Southern California. Dr. Todd said in effect that the present system enabled a professor to give final grades with greater justice both to himself and students than he could if the “D” were discarded.	f
“As it is now,” said the professor, “we have five distinct grades. be9lde the condition, which is equivalent to “E." If the “D” were removed, it would place instructors under the necessity of either giving a student a failing grade or a “C.” This would not give the Instructor sufficient range In which to discriminate between hU student.
“Besides," he •'ftntinued, “so long a« other universities give “D’s” I can hardly see how U. S. C. students would get deserving credit from other institutions if they should change their place of schooling. Other universities might look with disfavor on a **C“ from a school that had no lower mark. At least until other colleges change their grading systms.I am in favor of retaining the present system.
“Compared to the old percentage system, I consider the present method of grading eminently satisfactory. Under the old system a professor could give one student 93 and another 92. Such discrimination is too fine. 1 consider it practically impossible for an instructor to arrive Justly at grades so nearly alike, but still different.
“If an instructor could measure a student’s work with a yardstick and keep an accurate record of everythin* done by the student, he might be able to improve on the present method of grading. In that manner he could give the proper tenth of credit for every bit of work. Of course, we know that any snch system would be a prac-
